This debate was meant, I believe, largely as an introduction to some of the basic ideas, themes, differences and nuances of different open source software licenses.

I think that your license choices for the objectives you mention make sense, but it is also important to remember that all of these licenses and options serve to help one another, so that if a particular license does not fit your needs, objectives and situation, you can usually find one that does within the list of OSI-approved ones, and more frequently, within the top dozen most popular OS licenses. My point is that every situation is different, and we see a variety of business models using a variety of open source licenses — something that will likely continue. As Mike Milinkovich says, we have not even yet seen all of the possible combinations of licenses and business models.

Thanks again for the post. I encourage readers to check out your talk and blog.
